Xiaomi’s Pad 6 series of tablets have yet to be officially announced, but there have been multiple leaks so far suggesting that plenty of details are known about these upcoming tablets. Much like the Pad 5 series, which included the standard Xiaomi Pad 5, Pad 5 Pro, and Pad 5 Pro 5G, Xiaomi is apparently preparing three models for this year, including the base Pad 6, a Pad 6 Pro model, and a third Pad 6 Pro 5G model. While hardware details have been tipped off via multiple leaks in the past, a new leak has surfaced suggesting images of the Xiaomi Pad 6.
Posted by tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the images were first reported by CNMO.comThe leaked live images suggest a brand new design for the Xiaomi Pad 6’s rear panel, which appears to sport a unibody design as opposed to the metal frame and polycarbonate back of the outgoing Xiaomi Pad 5. What’s noticeably different is the layout of the rear camera, which now appears to sport a setup very similar to the camera module seen on the currently available Xiaomi 12 Pro smartphone.
While the camera module appears to have the clean dividing lines seen on the Xiaomi 12 Pro’s camera, this module appears to be made of clear plastic instead of metal. Also noticeable are the two camera lenses, one for the primary camera and a secondary one, the function of which remains unclear. Also visible is a third cutout and an LED flash setup.

Recent leaks have suggested that the Xiaomi Pad 6 will feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC, which will be a significant upgrade over the Snapdragon 860 SoC found in the Xiaomi Pad 5. The Xiaomi Pad 6 Pro, which is said to come in two models, is said to feature a 1,880×2,880-pixel AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The tablet is said to be powered by a more recent Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, which is a huge jump over the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC that powered its predecessor.
While the Xiaomi Pad 5 was launched in India, the company didn’t bring the ‘Pro’ models to the country, one of which had cellular connectivity. The tablet performed well in our review, offering excellent value for money while seriously undercutting tablets from Lenovo and Samsung in terms of both features and user interface.
